Install a turbo back and samco hoses before getting a tune. Can I install and drive to the Ispeed after a week? Should I install just before my appt?

In interest of disclosure I have an old Vishnu stage 0, and am going to stage 1 with hoses. I want to get a reflash and tune from Bill @ I-Speed. Just curious if I'd damage anything by installing the exhaust this week and getting the tune next week.

You install parts before a tune not after

you'll get more power after the tune but installing the parts before won't hurt anything, actually you have to. what the heck will it be tuned for?

there are plenty of people with hoses and a tb w/o a flash.

Yeah, Im just checking. I want to install it before the weekend, go to Fresno, then come back and get the tune. I don't want the engine to blow up on the way down or anything.

A turbo back and IC hoses is hardly going to make you're motor ping, let alone blow up
